The Buns
Top Bun
Separate the hair for the bun*
Secure the bottom so that it does not get in the way
Choose your technique to create your top bun**
*The key to the top bun is to leave enough hair out on the sides to get a nice curl
**I prefer the wrap around, or roll under method for my top bun
Space Buns
Separate the hair in half, to create two sections
Choose the height & your technique to create your space buns*
Shape your space buns to make them similar
Lay your hair down with a scarf to ensure smooth edges
*You can wear them high or low. I prefer the twist around or pull through method for my space buns
Side Bun
(can be used for formal occasions)
Dampen hair
Part & move hair over to the side you'd like your bun
Separate top area into manageable sections to slick down top and sides
Smooth the hair into a ponytail, using your preferred technique for the bun
Fluff out and shape as desired for a nice large side bun
Pull out curls by the ear or opposite side of the bun to enhance the look
If your hair is in need of moisture be sure to dampen
your hair and apply your Mane Temptation Oil to your scalp.
You can also apply your Mane Temptation Moisturizer to damp hair
during styling, if you find your styles need more definition or life.
